Abstract

Human biological studies on the Otmoor villages of Oxfordshire are summarized, particularly in relationship to associations which have been revealed between life­style variety on the one hand and sleep patterns and urinary catecholamine excretion rate patterns on the other. It is suggested that sleep duration of the main sleep period may be reflecting comparative arousal levels and sleep latency levels of biological and psycho-social stress.
